: i am having some side effects not frequently discussed here. some of you may know who i am, from my previous posting style. but anyways, i am experiencing some serious side effects from the test propionate and deca i am taking. i am experiencing depression, pretty serious and some anxiety. they seem to hit frequently at night just around bed time. these are the only real side effets i am experiencing from these drugs. no acne, no water retention nothing to speak of, except the fore mentioned. has anyone had experience dealing with this? if so please respond. big canuck or hulkster you may know how to alleviate these somewhat. could i take st johns whort? it seems to help a freind of mine who has depression. my girlfriend and i broke up after i started my cycle and it(the depression) has been a constant damper on my cycle(mentally). any informed responses would be appreciated. thanks--a.f.t.p
I can't recommend anything because I haven't had similar experiences. Well, yes I have but I wasn't on a cycle. I'll let the gurus discuss/handle this in depth but the two things I have read about for dealing with depression is St John's Wort and the amino acid tyrosine. Maybe the others could comment on any possible conflicts between these and AS. Good luck, be strong. Things get better!
